Researchpost#2

I'm between electro shock therapy and PTSD and is affect of families. I haven't decided on which one that I want to learn more about. And if I went with war veterans I would use people who were in my family that were apart of the military. And I would apply their own personal experiences in training and what the military's affect had on them. But yet I haven't decided.

Research Blog Post

In this world there are my different topics that could peak your interest. But out of every project you've done can you relate it back home to you? Well I found a project that relates to my grandmother and my aunt. They both worked back in the time around electro shock therapy. And yes my grandmother was the person who would hold them as the doctor placed a metal piece on each side of their head and turned up the dial. Some people would die during this, yet many survived. The "cure" for insanity used to be with pain and old medicine. And now I think we've realized that you can't cure insanity you can only tame it. I hope that can learn more about this topic and be able to relate it back to my grandmother. And hopefully find out the causes for being locked up, and put in a place full of pain and misery. And so I can actually see how long it took to end the use of electro shock therapy. And while I look back in time and figure out why people did this hopefully I can see how it impacted them. And I hope that I can figure out why my grandmother quit this job full of horror.

Multi Genre Opinion Post

When I read the multi genre links from Mrs. James' blog I found a really fascinating project about a comparison on graffiti and hip hop music. I was in a trance when I saw that you could actually compare something as opposite as these. And yet they have similar enough that you could compare them together. So by far my favorite one was this one because it allows me to see from someone else's point of view. And I love looking at something from a different angle. And it was very amazing to read this multi genre piece.

Develpment Goals And Beyond 2015 Response

While I was reading the "Millennium Development Goals and Beyond 2015" I found that HIV/AIDS was not only affecting the USA but people around the country. And this is sad but also very true. It was an issue that was affecting millions and we couldn't find a solution, to slow down the spread. And I found that the current goal is to "halt and began to reverse, by 2015, spread of HIV/AIDS. I was surprised to find out that this is actually working. We have always been trying to find ways to stop the spread in the USA but I don't believe that anyone was trying to stop the entire issue. And the issue to me is that we were not trying to stop it around the world. And this is why other countries got the disease so fast I believe. But we are trying to fix the problem. And like I said its working. "The incidence of HIV is declining in most regions." And the people newly infected each year dropped and entire 33% from "2001 to 2012" And this may seem small but the advantage is astonishing. I say this because its declining not increasing. So no matter what its great. And this includes all diseases like: TB, Malaria, and more. We are becoming so advanced in our medical field that we are improving the health of every one around the globe. I found this article so amazing because its a problem that I have seen in people around the world just by watching the television. And I always wanted someone smart enough to get a clue. And they did. The accomplished and overall decline in disease around the world. Which we should have done before. But now I know that the world I live in is not only safer for me and my family. But safer for my future children. And for this I am entirely grateful. So this is why I choose this article. Because it was the kind of article that can make you smile a little brighter at the end of the day.

Reding response ReDo :)

While I was reading the article called "A Word, Please: Better Grammar Means Better Jobs?" I discovered that this article seems to be very accurate. Which took me by surprise because I never thought that having great grammar skills could help you win your dream job. And personally this scares me to no end because I've spent my whole life not worrying about grammar and now I find out that it is actually very important. This is why when I saw this: "there's some expectation that workers should "speak the language."" I couldn't help but get a realization of how true this statement was. Because no one wants to deal with a person they cant understand clearly, or a person who sounds dumb. And I know that my grammar skills are not very good but I will do everything in my power to make them better. While I finished this I realized that I shouldn't be mad because I didn't take the time to learn it. I should use what I read and apply it to my life. And this is what I am going to do. I am going to do any extra work sheets I can find that I know will improve my writing and verbal skills. Also I will make sure that I take responsibility for my actions by explaining what I did, instead of telling others "that it is because I am dumb" because I am not dumb, and I know I have the will power to do whatever I set my mind to. And if I accomplish this small goal I know that it will help me be who ever I want to be in the future.

While I was looking at the wonderful videos and ideas of others that turned into a passion. I began to wonder what my passion would be... And I think I figured it out. Growing up I was around fighting, arguing, drinking, little food, horrible siblings who tormented me and pain. I would have loved to had a place or a person to turn to when things got bad. But I didn't. I was stuck and had to face every situation head on. Which did some good but it made me a very anxious and angry person. And my only escape was to move away from my family. And I did exactly that. I only wish I could have found a way out long before, without being put into foster care or a place that would make me miserable. So my passion is to have a few students assigned to some counselors or adults so they can talk openly about any issue or problem daily. And then no matter what time if they need to get out of there house they could call and stay in a safe house until its better... Which sort of reminds me of this passion created by a women named Jessica. And this is called "OAK Lifestyle" it provides children in need with some things they need to improve their education. Another idea that caught my attention was "Fairleaf Food" And I thought that this was not only smart but very sweet. It started from the people in this area having to deal with hunger turned a simple high protein plant in to money for everyone.

Reflection

This semester my writing has changed a lot and I am very excited about this. I normally would see change. And I didn't at first. But those who are in my life have shared how much they liked my new papers. And they would say how well written they were, compared to how they used to be. And I have to give some of the credit to the online assignments. Because they were scary but they did make me want to ensure that everything I post is correct and as much to flawless as they could be. And I hope that it has helped others in the same way. Because I know that it has helped me in more ways than one. I also discovered that I absolutely love technology now. And I didn't before because it never seemed to help me. But this year I have found it to be almost like a best friend to me. It corrects my grammar problems. It allows me to feel as though I wont be judged for my spelling or how I write. And overall this class is probably my favorite because it taught me to find myself. I found my voice through my writing and no matter what that's how I will always be.
